The Dragon Sicilian is the perfect choice for club players searching for chaotic and imbalanced positions. This opening manual shows how Black can turn up the heat against 1.e4, and enjoy dynamic winning chances game after game.

Top-10 player Anish Giri is the best tutor to bring this complicated opening across to 'everyday' club players.

So when game time comes, you know exactly which moves to play, at what moment, and how to deliver the knockout blow.
